Duke Academics and Staff for Justice in Palestine calls on Duke University to immediately abolish its Pickets, Protests, and Demonstrations (PPD) policy. The policy bans “disruptive” protest and requires demonstrations to be registered in advance, with violations carrying severe penalties, including possible expulsion. In practice, PPD has had a chilling effect on free expression and collective action on campus. Duke’s own history—from the 1969 Allen Building occupation to anti-apartheid protests in the 1980s—shows that disruptive protest has often been essential to achieving justice and institutional change. A university committed to critical inquiry should protect, not suppress, the right to protest.
